UCL Centre for Digital Humanities painless introductions are a series of brief lunchtime talks to introduce researchers to basic concepts and techniques in digital humanities. As the name suggests, we hope that these talks will be informal and entertaining, speakers will not assume any knowledge of their subject, and there will be plenty of time for questions and discussion. So please do come along, if you are curious about a particular topic or want to find out more about digital humanities without being mistaken for a geek.

Henreitte Bruun is the School Research Facilitator for Arts and Humanities, Social and Historical Sciences and Laws. She will be talking about the practicalities of applying for research funding, especially for digital projects. She will discuss different types of funding, and how to choose the appropriate call or funding body, as well as providing insight into how the process of grant applications works at UCL.
